There are several ways to connect a campaign with the traffic source. For example, to send traffic directly to the campaign URL, to paste JS code or PHP code on your websites. See more information on Integration page.

How to Create a Campaign in Keitaro (video)

Video Tutorial on our YouTube channel about creating a campaign in Keitaro.

Go to “Campaigns” page in Keitaro and click on “Create”.

Campaign name

The name of your campaign.

Settings

Domain

A domain for a campaign's URL can be selected here. If you have professional or a business license, you can select from all your added domains. If you have a basic license, you can use only one domain.

Alias

The alias is used to generate the campaign address. For example, address with the alias “cmpx” will look like this http://domain.com/cmpx.

Group

Source

If you set a source you can generate reports on this source and you will get a link of the campaign with all the necessary parameters.

Stream Rotation

Choose an algorithm of streams rotation. In other words, how streams are rotated:

* Without rotation, a click is sent to the streams in a row - from the stream in position 1 to the last stream. The transition to the next stream is only possible if the filter conditions rejected the user.

Split testing, based on the weight of the stream, allows to randomly distribute users. If the stream filters reject the user, a random stream will be re-selected.

Cost model

Costs value

If the “Auto” option is enabled, the cost of a click will be taken from the “cost” parameter. For example, &cost=100&currency=usd. If the “Auto” option is disabled, you have to set costs manually.

Traffic Loss, %

Traffic Loss is calculated in % and influence the calculation the campaign performance metrics.

Formula:
CPC = OriginalCPC/(1-(traffic_loss/100))

Bind visitors to streams

If split testing option is enabled, users who have already visited the campaign will receive exactly the same result as during the previous visit, for example, they will be sent to the same landing page.

Do not bind - visitors won't be bound to anything in a campaign.

Streams - visitors will get to the same stream they visited before.

Streams, LPs - visitors will get to the same stream and landing pages they visited before.

Streams, LPs, offers - visitors will get to the same stream, landing page and the offer they visited before.

Uniqueness

The feature which sets how the visitors will be identified as a unique:

How to test filters?

How to hide the source of the traffic from my affiliate network?

How is the uniqueness of the user checked?

First, the presence of a label in cookies is checked. If there are no cookies, then the presence of a device record (the pair IP + UserAgent) is checked by the database. The uniqueness is checked separately for campaign, stream and for all streams at once.
